Silicon Sculptor 3 offers four times the memory size compared to the previous Microchip Silicon Sculptor II programmer and has faster data processing. With 64 MB of internal memory, the Silicon Sculptor 3 allows concurrent programming of highly-dense parts that could only be programmed non-concurrently with prior programmers, which means higher throughput is now possible for even the densest of parts.

This additional memory will also support the larger algorithms of planned future parts. Silicon Sculptor 3 incorporates the industry's widely accepted high-speed USB 2.0 standard bus for communications, allowing as many as twelve Silicon Sculptor 3 systems to be connected to a single PC through a series of nested high-speed USB 2.0 hubs. This enables an easily expandable, low to medium volume production programming system to be dynamically assembled.
